Real Time Position and Trajectory Control of Ball and Plate System Using Different Control Techniques

Abstract

The ball and plate system, which has more than one variable, is a non-linear system. The stability of the ball and plate system can be performed when the ball is moved to any desired coordinates on the plate or to the desired orbit. The degree of freedom of the ball and plate system is greater than the number of actuators that move the system. Therefore, the control of the system is a difficult problem. There is friction, measurement delays and unstable parameters that can affect the system control negatively. The designed physical model was implemented using Arduino Uno R3 development card by using PID, Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) methods through LabVIEW environment. For this aim, a user interface is created on the Labview program and a system design is implemented in which control parameters can be changed or different control algorithms can be tested.
